Bio:
Kiss was formed in New York in '72 by guitarist/vocalist Paul Stanley (Stanley Eisen) and Gene Simmons (Gene Klein). The line-up was rounded out by drummer Peter Criss (Crisscoula), located through a Rolling Stone ad, and lead guitarist Ace Frehley (Paul Frehley), who answered an ad in the Village Voice. The band's cartoon image, kabuki makeup and 4th-of-July stageshow concept was in place from the start, and they began promoting their own hall shows in NYC. TV director Bill Aucoin saw them, became their manager, and secured a deal for them with Neil Bogart's Casablanca Records within two weeks. Three LPs were released in a year's time, but the live fourth LP, Alive! (1975) contained their first huge hit, "Rock And Roll All Nite." Until the early '80, Kiss was unstoppable, with two huge-selling Marvel Comics, a network TV movie and four simultaneously-released solo albums under their studded belts. In '80, Criss left for a solo career and since then, the drum and lead positions have been ever-changing. In '83, the band stripped away the makeup and celebrated renewed interest."You wanted the best, you got it! The hottest band in the land: KISS!" So went the rally cry at the beginning of a Kiss concert, an event of exploding pyrotechnics, vomited blood and louder-than-God hard rock. Their fan club--The Kiss Army--swelled to six-figures strong during the band's '70s heyday, and between 1974 and today they've sold in excess of 70 million albums.In '96, the original band reformed (made up?), and took their full costume-makeup-pyro 1976 show on the road--for a year-long stint--resulting in one of the most successful rock tours ever. Conjecture that the band wanted to quit on a high note has remained unproven; anything could happen in Kiss' future.
Album:
KISS original line up of Paul / Gene / Peter and Ace, the last day of the past Century, December 31, 1999, recorded their concert at BC Place Stadium in Vancouver, British Columbia, originally intended to be released as “ALIVE IV” in 2000 but was shelved when KISS’ parent label Mercury was swallowed by the Universal / Vivendi merger.Although Universal later agreed to KISS using Mercury to release what would become ”The Millennium Concert” as “ALIVE IV”, it was shelved indefinitely.The concert was finally released on November 21, 2006, as part of the ‘KISS Alive! 1975–2000’ box set. That expensive Box Set was the only way to get ”The Millennium Concert” until several years after when a standalone 2xLP vinyl appeared.”The Millennium Concert” is a must have because includes songs that had never before been performed by the original line-up (“Heaven’s on Fire”, “I Love It Loud” and “Lick It Up”). However, ”The Millennium Concert” mix & mastering wasn’t the best, sonically pretty slow, muddy and sluggish to the ears.So the KISS Army did their own ”ALIVE IV! : The Millennium Concert (Re-mixed 2025)”, taking the original lossless source and using professional equipment to make a Re-mix. No effects, no plug-ins, no AI were used, just all the isolated tracks re-mixed again.The result is awesome; ”The Millennium Concert (Re-mixed 2025)” now sounds fantastic, defined, with a proper separated instrumentation. The Best Buy Exclusive 2 bonus tracks were added too, and placed in the track list in the order as were performed that night.
